Aloha! Thanks for all those who submitted reviews!

To Ayr: Well, I've already outlined the whole story of Passionate love and its going to be a bit short. Less then ten chappies actually sweat drops. And I'm sorry I couldn't change their ages to 16 or 17 because there's something in the later chapters that needs them to be in their present ages concerning with the Sakura cards and their "love". S&S. But there will be more mystery to come so keep reading and a lot of thanks for your wonderful review!

Passionate Love

-Chapter 2: Whispers from a Distance-

Sakura looked out of the window feeling the shivers ran down her spine. The winter air is fast approaching and the cold ambience made her even more of a late riser. Kero lay tucked up in the drawer momentarily muttering about sweets.

"Gimme those cakes! Zzzz….. No, I want the bigger one!"

Sakura grinned at him and stared at the letters laid out on her desk. Since the departure of Syaoran and Meiling, she has been looking forward to every weekend because to her new and revised vocabulary, weekend means another mail and another lowdown of information from her friends.

Sakura reached over to the letter underneath the pink envelope, the one she read last night.

It was from Meiling.

"…Guess what, I was able to make a spinning kick where I actually hit Syaoran, well, nearly. That's already a super record for me! Damn! He's such a great fighter and my chances of actually beating him are next to zero…"

"… know what, he seems to be thinking of you a lot these days…"

"…Tomoyo sent us a copy of the video she took during the Nadeshiko festival and you were awesome on stage! I especially like the pert where the prince confessed his love. It's just a pity I'm only the princess' lady-in-waiting…"

"… I've enclosed a few pictures of us here taken by Aunt Yelan. Syaoran has already outgrown me by an inch! Keep this as a remembrance, ne? I'm always here if you need me or if you need encouragement for your loved one.

P.S. Tell Kero I was able to eat 2 whole cakes in one go. Bet he can't beat that! (psst! I'ts only a lie)

-Meiling"

Sakura gave a silent laugh after reading her friend's message.

Some things never change.

She sighed and glanced at her bedside table. There's still a single letter laying there which she haven't finished reading.

Sakura tucked Meiling's letter back in its envelope and took the new one.

It's from Syaoran.

"…Yeah, it's starting to get a bit cold here in Hong Kong. Right now I'm wearing the green scarf you made for me. Honestly Sakura, I enjoyed when we went skiing last time and it was awesome since it never snowed here. I could get used to this…"

Sakura flushed and glanced at the sleeping Kero. Even the mere handwriting of Syaoran gave her cheeks a crimson touch. She looked back at the letter. Now this part she hasn't read yet.

"Tell me what your favorite figure is. Would you like a ballerina? A horse? A fairy or perhaps an angel? Don't ask why. It's a surprise…"

"…I hope you're doing fine there. Tomoyo mentioned your performance in school is really great. Still a late riser? Don't trouble yourself too much anymore now that Tomoeda's back to normal again. If you have any problems, always remember that I am here for you.

Even if we're miles apart, you'll always be here with me…

…in my heart.

Love

-Syaoran"

Sakura's face turned to an even deep crimson at Syaoran's last words. The silent zephyr billowed her chestnut hair as she folded back his letter.

"I love you too Syaoran," she whispered and gently placed its envelope on top of Meiling's. She grinned at Keroberos and walked out of the room for 'lunch'.

"A surprise?" Sakura murmured to herself. "I wonder what he's up to."

"I'll tell him I'd like an angel…" Sakura thought and with a smile, she walked down the staircase.

Meanwhile, back in Sakura's room, the Sakura Cards emitted a strange, mysterious glow.

-England- Hiiragizawa Mansion

In the chamber where the fires warmed the hearth of the room, a big red chair lay in the middle and sitting on it was a mysterious looking guy with dark tresses and extremely handsome face. Eriol Hiiragizawa stared at the fireplace deep in contemplation.

His azure eyes flickered.

He sensed danger. Something is wrong.

His senses couldn't be mistaken.

But it couldn't happen…

Could it?

Unless…

He quickly stood up and Kaho Mizuki suddenly fell in his way.

"What's wrong Eriol?" She asked worried.

Eriol sighed and faced the east.

"It's Sakura…"

a/n: So what do you think? LOL Did I put too much emphasis on Eriol's handsome face? . Now the conflict ahs arrived. Once again, it's something about Sakura and her cards, only this time; it's not she they're going to deal with but someone else… Oooh and someone's planning to return to Japan! I won't be spilling any more beans now, just continue to read guys and keep the reviews coming in!

Love ya all!
